  1. 11. Immunohistochemical detection of thymidine kinase 1 in canine mammary tumors and lymphomas

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Alexandra Leijon; [2013]
    Keywords : mammary tumor; lymphoma; dog; cacine; thymidine kinase;

    Abstract : The dog has often served as a model animal for humans in scientific studies. This is due to the fact that dogs are susceptible to a wide range of diseases which also affect humans. One example is cancer, a condition that affects dogs as well as owners. Neoplastic diseases account for 18-23 % of all deaths in dogs (Bonnet et al. READ MORE

  2. 12. Prostasome ELISA - a potential marker for prostate cancer diagnosis

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Elisabeth Thermaenius; [2012]
    Keywords : biomarker; immunoassay; exosome; PSA; vesicle;

    Abstract : Abstract   The prostate gland, a male organ, situated right under the urine bladder, is involved in male reproduction. It can also be the place for more or less serious diseases such as inflammation, abnormal growth and cancer. Especially prostate cancer is very common in the Western world. READ MORE

  3. 13. Biotinylation and high affinity avidin capture as a strategy for LC-MS based metabolomics

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Sofie Rhönnstad; [2010]
    Keywords : Biotinylation; avidin-biotin system; metabolites; metabolomics; LC-MS;

    Abstract : Metabolites, small endogenous molecules existing in every living cell, tissue or organism, play a vital role for maintaining life. The collective group of all metabolites, the metabolome, is a consequence of the biochemistry and biochemical pathways that a cell or tissue uses to promote survival. READ MORE

  4. 14. A novel biotinylated surface designed for QCM-D applications

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Erik Nilebäck; [2009]
    Keywords : Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; QCM-D; Self-assembled monolayer; SAM; thiol; ethylene glycol; OEG; PEG; biosensor; surface chemistry; biotin; streptavidin; ellipsometry; contact angle goniometry; surface plasmon resonance; SPR; impedance spectroscopy; IS; sensor surface;

    Abstract :   Control of protein immobilization at sensor surfaces is of great interest within various scientific fields, since it enables studies of specific biomolecular interactions. To achieve this, one must be able to immobilize proteins with retained native structure, while minimizing non-specific protein binding. READ MORE

  5. 15. An Investigation of the Nano-Organization of Glucose Transporters, Glut1 and Glut3, in the Mammalian Plasma Membrane

    University essay from Institutionen för vård och natur

    Author : Dommaraju Sireesha; [2008]
    Keywords : Sireesha; Dommaraju; Gluts; Sweden; Denmark; skovde; Odense; skovde University; SDU university;

    Abstract : Glucose is a monosaccharide and fuel for body, it cannot pass through membrane by simple diffusion so, integral transmembrane proteins named glucose transporters (Gluts) are involved in the regulation of the movement of glucose between the extracellular and intracellular spaces within the body. GLUT1 and GLUT3 have previously been shown by cold detergent extraction methods to reside in distinct plasma membrane domains in non-polarized mammalian cells, with GLUT1, but not GLUT3, residing  in detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) domains.
